Forest Hill

The hotel-style amenity at Yarra One has proven to be one of the biggest drivers in purchasers in the completed South Yarra apartment tower.

Designed by renowned architecture firm&nbsp;Fender Katsalidis, the $250 million development boasts a host of hotel-style amenities including a residents dining room, wine cellar, rooftop terrace with barbecue facilities, a gym, yoga room, outdoor spa, sauna and steam room, pet wash and Tesla car share services.

Acting as the grand entrance to Yarra One, the purpose-designed atrium&nbsp;is a public space for the local community that is truly environmentally sustainable. Built to re-establish human connection to the surroundings with its well-planned design and greenery, the atrium also helps reduce urban heat island and wind tunnel effects.

Yarra One&nbsp;residents will also have access to a 24-hour concierge-style app, where they will be able to book of a number of the services. EcoWorld, in partnership with Scarisbrick International, a Singapore-based company that developed a new concept in luxury retirement living, launched the Lifestyle One app where residents will be offered services including welcoming guests, receiving packages, organising transport or arranging reservations for amenity spaces within the building.

&ldquo;By offering our residents 6-star services 24 hours a day, we aim to further amplify the&nbsp;Yarra One&nbsp;living experience as a beautiful, luxurious home that pampers, comforts, and inspires our residents,&quot; said Yarra One&nbsp;General Manager Jeffrey Ong.

The concierge desk is as luxe as the rest of the building, set in the ground-floor&nbsp;lobby which features a marble block sculpted as a reception desk, framed by elegant brass and bronze detailing. The service, which is a monthly subscription fee, brings a different level of service to residents of all ages,&nbsp;<a aria-label="Yarra One - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-styling-context="true" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/yarra-one-16-22-claremont-street-south-yarra" target="_blank" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/yarra-one-16-22-claremont-street-south-yarra$yarraone">Yarra One</a>&nbsp;says Ong..

The dining and library spaces were designed to act as a natural extension of the apartments at&nbsp;Yarra One, created with smoked timber floors and soaring double-height ceilings. Residents will have access to communal spaces including the mezzanine cocktail level, the plush lounge, which is situated around an fireplace, or the lush gardens of the rooftop.

With designated spaces with a focus on wellness and helping residents available at&nbsp;Yarra One, buyers can enjoy convenient fitness and relaxation offerings.

The gym on level one looks out onto the residents&rsquo; garden, while the yoga and dance studio connects to the private spa terrace.

Adjacent to the lounge and dining room, the wine room is modelled after a finely detailed cigar box.&nbsp;Designed to reflect the prestige of the bottles contained within, the temperature-controlled room features smoked oak floors, timber joinery and bronze accents.

The fully-completed, ready to move in residences still have a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments still available, starting from $470,000.

Retail construction specialist Mainbrace has been awarded a $9.8 million contract to deliver a new top floor modern piazza-style dining precinct at Forest Hill Chase shopping centre in Melbourne.
The interior re-purposing project, for 151 Property, involves the installation of a new play area for children, an updated parents’ room, a new glass lift, the refurbishment of existing amenities, a full services upgrade, new mall finishes, furniture and joinery, as well as the construction of 10 new food and entertainment tenancies and kiosks.
Mainbrace will coordinate the project, which involves concurrent works on three different levels, to ensure a safe environment for customers and other tenants and to minimise disruption to trade in the existing centre.
Work on the new precinct – to be known as The Loft - commenced recently.
Mainbrace will undertake structured interior re-purposing projects in live operating environments to fast-track its completion in time for Christmas 2018.
The appointment represents an important next step in Mainbrace’s growth in Victoria as the company’s eastern seaboard expansion continues.
“Forest Hill Chase is a fixture in the east Melbourne community and we’re proud to be involved in a project that will breathe new life into this much-loved regional shopping centre,” Mainbrace VICState Manager Michael Fague says.
“We are progressing numerous redevelopment and interior re-purposing projects for high profile clients in Victoria and we remain focused on leveraging our national relationships with leading retailers and centre owners to build our portfolio further.”

Mainbrace wins contract to create new dining precinct at Forest Hill

<html><body>
An adjoining owner has snapped up a significant office property in Forest Hill for $45.85 million as demand for commercial assets in metropolitan Melbourne continues. 
Colliers International’s Rob Joyes, Peter Bremner and Rachael Clohesy have negotiated the sale of 347-351 Burwood Highway in Forest Hill on behalf of a long-term Sydney based private investor.  
The 2.62 hectare Commercial 1-zoned site, which is home to two office buildings with a combined net lettable area of approximately 10,692 square metres, changed hands on a passing yield of circa 4%. The property was purchased from an offshore investor.  
“This purchase also represents the largest metropolitan office investment to transact so far in 2019,” Bremner said. 
The property was approximately 70% occupied at the time of sale with a weighted average lease expiry of approximately 3.4 years.
“Over the past two years, over $180 million of office investments have transacted within the Tally Ho Business Park precinct,” Joyes said.  
“Office investors are taking a long-term view of the Outer East market with a particular interest in land with existing Zoning flexibility and are anticipating land values will increase significantly in the years to come off the back of State Government investment such as the Suburban Rail Loop and Vicinity’s transformation of The Glen shopping precinct.”

The Outer East office market has bounced back after a period of high vacancy, Colliers International said.
Its latest Metro Office Research &amp; Forecast Report states that vacancy is currently at 8.74% in the Outer East, which is below the long-term average of 9.56%. 
“Due to the tightening of vacancy in the City Fringe and Inner East markets, tenants view the Outer East as a more affordable option,” Joyes said. 
Significant recent sales within the precinct include:
<ul>
<li>VicRoads, 12 Lakeside Drive, Burwood East - $25.5 million </li>
<li>Hewlett Packard, 353 Burwood Highway, Forest Hill - $88 million</li>
<li>CFA, 16 Lakeside Drive, Burwood East - $9.6 million </li>
<li>CFA, 8 Lakeside Drive, Burwood East - $18.08 million</li>
</ul>
